We used this book in a graduate school class for policy in social work. I found it to give a good overview of the political process and how to advocate on a macro level. Pretty basic, but it was focused and well written.

I think this was a good company to buy from.... I asked for average and got average; I paid for the cheapest 'very good', 'like new', 'new' books and they were all accurate to their description, and arrived in the allotted time.

The book came on time and in excellent condition. I saved 40 dollars going this route, you should, too.

I like the fact that the book was cheap considering the economy. Also, that I received it right on time! Thanks

Book arrived within 5 days. Book was in very good condition. Most definately will use this company to buy books in the future.

Book in very good shape -- fast service so had in time for start of school

I want to hear others' opinions . . . e-mail at "thankavet@angelfire.com"

When the title of a book has an embarrassing grammatical mistake, you know you shouldn't even buy it. Really lame mistake.

As much as I appreciate the intent of their book, social workers have no place in the political process -- and, other than as citizens, they shouldn't. Social work is not a profession. Social workers have sold their souls to becomes second-rate psychotherapists. Their advocacy days are long over. Schools of social work pay lip service to social justice issues (in fact, social work organizations have not been able to define the word "justice," much to their collective embarrassment. Social workers should just get back to case management and leave the other work they attempt to lawyers, policy analysts, and well-educated psychologists. (Of course, I'm a Columbia U. Schl. of Social Wk. grad, the most unjust school imaginable, so I'm knowledgeable and bitter)
